A concise, practical approach to diagnosis and therapy for trauma in the dog and cat. This book describes methods and techniques used in the management of trauma which are within the scope of general veterinary practice and that employ only the technology and equipment likely to be available in a mixed practice. A list of recommended equipment, including suppliers and their addresses, is given in the appendix. Veterinary surgeons in practice and veterinary students will find this book valuable for pre- and postgraduate examinations. It is particularly suitable for courses in animal surgery, medicine, radiography, nursing and fluid balance/electrolyte therapy
